About this title

Synopsis

RF power amplifiers are implemented in communication, semiconductor wafer processing, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radar systems to produce RF signal with the desired characteristics to perform several critical tasks in the entire system. They can be designed to operate in linear or switch-mode, depending on the specific application. This book explores the design and implementation methods for both linear and switch-mode amplifiers with real world engineering problems. The text discusses phased controlled switch-mode amplifiers and distortion and modulation effects in RF amplifiers. It illustrates the interface and integration of components and sub-systems for RF amplifiers. The material is further reinforced with MATLAB design files.

About the Author

Abdullah Eroglu received the doctor of philosophy degree (Ph.D) in 2004 in Electrical Engineering from Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY, USA. From 2000 to 2008, he worked as RF Senior design engineer at MKS Instruments, where he was involved with the design of RF power amplifiers and systems. He joined Department of Engineering at Indiana University-Purdue University in 2008. Since 2014, he has been a professor of electrical engineering at Engineering Department of Purdue University. Dr. Eroglu was a faculty fellow at the Fusion Energy Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory during the summer of 2009. He has over 100 journal and conference publications and three issued patents. He is author of four books and co-editor for one book. Dr. Eroglu is on the Editorial Board of Journal of Communications and Networks, and International Journal of Electromagnetics and Applications. He is the recipient of the 2013 IPFW Outstanding Researcher Award, 2012 IPFW Featured Faculty Award, 2011 IPFW Sigma Xi Researcher of the Year Award, 2010 IPFW ETCS Excellence in Research Award, and 2004 Outstanding Graduate Student award from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at Syracuse University, USA.
